Canadian Allegations of Inhumanlty and
Injustice in the Sealing Fishery Seizures
PREPARATION Wanted.
OTTAWA, Ont, June Am additional pa
per in relation to the seizure of the British
Columbia whalers in Behring's Sea was
laid before Parliament yesterday. 1t con-
sists of dispatch from Lord LansdOwne,
dated May q, to Sir Henry Holland, Sec
rotary for the Colonies, transmitting the
views Of the Privy Council of Canada on
the subject, based on the report by Hon.
George E. Foster, Minister of Marine and
Fisheries. This, after reciting the particu-
lars of the seizure already given, proceeds:
Minister Foster further states that
from information received from the owners
of the seized vessels and from the
collector of customs at Victoria, he learned
that James Ogilvie, an old man and master
of the Carolina, was arrested along with
the masters and mates of the Onward and
Thornton, and brought into court for trial;
that before sentence was pronounced he
was suffered to wander away into the
woods, where he died from exposure, and
that the other masters and mates, after re-
naming several months in prison, were re-
leased by order of the Governor of Alaska
and turned adrift literally destitute to
find their way as best they could to their
homes 1,5OO miles Distant
Further on the report says: 1.-THE owners
of the condemned vessels have received no
information from the United States authori-
ties Of the release Of their vessels or res
tOratiOn of valuable carg0es Of sealskins
and equipments on board. They fear that
the Indians will have carried every thing
valuable from the vessels, and if the
owners are compelled to receive them
at Ounalaska, where they were
detained, it will necessitate the chartering
of steamer with men and supplies at
great expense and round voyage Of 1900
miles to bring the vessels to Victoria The
owners therefore consider this good ground
for claiming consideration from the United
States authorities when the question Of
PREPARATION is being settled"

borers at Randolph Point about midnight
Saturday terminated yesterday afternoon

originated in the saloon and boarding house
of Samuel Swigert. John McGrath tried

latter in return being seriously wounded by

SERIOUS EARTHQUAKE.

Nevada and California Experience an
Alarming Shske-up.
San Francisco, June Am earthquake
swept over the greater portion Of Northern
California and Western Nevada between
two and three O'Clock yesterday morning.
Reports from different points seem to place
the center Of the wave at the same place-on
the boundary line between the two States.
One house near Genoa, New, after the earth
quake, was surrounded by cracks in the
ground from one inch to foot in width.
Another shock equally as heavy would de-
stroy every brick house in the town. At
Sacramento it shook houses, making them
rumble as if the windows were being
Jared by gusts of wind. The shock was
also felt IN the Yosemite valley. At Car
son City, New, pictures and plaster
fell from walls. A large amount Of plaster
fell from the Supreme Court room into the
capitol building. Hot Springs are reported
dried up. Virginia City, Truckee, Marys-
vile, Chico and Nevada City are few of

THE BELGIAN TROUBLES.

Demands Of the worlinxmen's Conventions
Fears Of German Interference.
LONDON, June 1.-The present strikes Of
thousands Of workmen In Belgium relates
just as much to the general political stu
alton as to any question of labor. The
workingmen's convention which met in
Brussels yesterday makes the following
demands: l. Universal suffrage. 2. The
separation Of Church and State. 3. The
equality of military service. 4. Labor legis-
lation. The principal question Of all is that
Of suffrage. Although the anarchists ap-
pears here As in almost all other
assamblages of striking workingmen,
yet there have been bat few repeti-
tions of the bloody scenes of last year. The
new strike is far more regularly organized
and more moderate than the former one.
The Belgian Government has placed troops
everywhere to guard against any act OF
overt rebellion. The French are much
agitated over reports from Berlin to the
effect that Germany is contemplating in
reference in the matter. The French see
in this only plan Of Prince Bismarck to
advance upon their own country by a new
route,

he believed the sources of revenue could be
so managed as to satisfy q fair trader

trade depression was economy
in public expenditures; the workers must
not allow ireland to absorb all their atten-

THE DALLAS CONVENTION.

That Texas is alive to her interests has
been thoroughly demonstrated by the rep
Iesentation st the immigration conven-
ton at Dallas. Representative men Of
the state were present, men who are the
recognized leaders in the commercial az
fairs Of the country, and whose names
give weight and strength to everything
with which they are connected. They
came from all parts of the state, and with
the one intention and desire to devise
means and methods py which people
could be induced to come to Texas
and assist in her development and up
building. Every member attending knew
the necessity Of wise action, and while in
some unimportant details, friction was
now and then visible, every one seemed
to work with will for the accomplish
ment Of this one great object. That the
action OF that convention will have
beneficial effect there can be no doubt.
The names Of the gentlemen who attend
ed will sccentuste the demand for more
immigration, and the railroads will lose
no time in lending their aid in the matter
of rates. Texas can now look forward TO
g genuine boom.
